Rochester Workplace Injury Attorneys Handling Third Party Claims

Your career is important to you. A job is more than just how to put food on the table. Unfortunately there are times when people are injured on the job. Claims against an employer will generally fall within the workers’ compensation system. If the injury was caused by a third party (not the employer), an employee can bring a case against that party. Our Rochester attorneys handle workplace injury cases that involve third parties. If you have been injured on the job, contact our office today to speak with a lawyer. We also handle cases in Owatonna, other Minnesota communities, and Iowa and Wisconsin.

Lawyers handling workplace injury claims in Rochester and Owatonna

When someone is injured on the job, workers’ compensation typically will be the exclusive remedy against the employer. Claims against third parties, however, do not fall within the workers’ comp system. For example, if an employee was injured by a defective piece of equipment, they may have a claim against the manufacturer of that equipment. Such a claim would be handled through litigation and not through workers’ comp. Whether an employee has a case against a third party will always be situation-specific and it is important to speak with an attorney to fully understand your options.

Our Rochester lawyers handle workplace injury claims that involve third parties. Prior to your initial consultation we send you a list of needed items so we can gain an understanding of your situation. Once you choose to retain our firm, we immediately obtain accident reports and other documents relevant to your case. If a settlement cannot be reached, we will file a lawsuit. We will use discovery (the process by which information is gained in a lawsuit) to obtain records of any similar accidents that occurred in the past, information relating to whether the third party knew a dangerous situation existed, and more. We make sure that your interests are protected and that you are prepared for trial. We understand this is a stressful time in your life. We focus on this area of law so you can focus on the future. Contact us today to schedule an initial consultation.
